But the thing is, there's only a finite number of times we can do it. Even if I had another baby, afterwards I'd still long to feel that way again. I don't think having an unlimited number of babies is the solution.
Right?

Unlimited Babies
I just read a birth story on another blog... and I would just give anything to be 9 months pregnant right now. I feel so super sad that I'll never give birth again. Those last days of pregnancy, that magical anticipation and all that planning - oh, it's my very favorite thing in the whole world. Until. Until the day I do the most amazing thing I'll ever do and I push a little person from inside of me into the world, and I get to meet my sweet baby. There's no experience on earth that can compare. Hospital birth, home birth, first baby, third baby, complications, no complication, it doesn't matter - the purest happiness.
But the thing is, there's only a finite number of times we can do it. Even if I had another baby, afterwards I'd still long to feel that way again. I don't think having an unlimited number of babies is the solution.

Oh, I'm so with you. I wrote a post about this kind of thing recently too :) Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever not have that feeling... I can't imaging not ever being pregnant again. But I know that day is coming...soon. I just pray that God makes me ready for it :)
I really loved this post. What a blessing God has given women to be able to do such an amazing thing. It truly is remarkable and something I think even when we're all in our old age we'll miss.
No, the answer is to keep having them. Oh, not really. It's SO hard for me to let go of that part of life.
Having as many babies as God has for you is special indeed. Some do just that. That sweet anticipation of seeing the new baby is so awesome each and every time.
